The girl inadvertently invited all of Facebook to her birthday party with around 1,600 people obliging but it all ended in tears…

A GERMAN GIRL inadvertently invited the whole of Facebook to her 16th birthday party resulting in some 1600 or so ‘guests’ descending on a sleepy suburb of the city of Hamburg yesterday.

The 16-year-old, known only as Thessa, accidentally listed her birthday – which she had hoped to celebrate with a close group of family and friends – as a public event with 15,000 people responding to confirm they would be attending, reports Deutsche Welle.

Despite attempting to cancel the party, hundreds of people descended on her house with police forced to erect a cordon around the property.
